Looking for Alaska
"The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive"
I have never read a book that was so enjoyable while hard-hitting (except for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" maybe, but I will soon write something about this one). The proof is : this book convinced me to write my first article ever.
You start reading this book thinking this is going to be light, spoiler alert : it's not, and you're going to love it. The story is complex, beautiful, enchanting, and heartbreaking; all at the same time (quite a lot for a single reader). It left me wanting more, but also knowing I couldn't take it. You know the kind of book that you wish you could re-read for the first time, over and over ? Yeah, this is one of those.
The characters are all so different, yet I identified a little bit with every one of them. They all carry stories that you wouldn't tell are written by an actual human, because when you're reading them you forget you are. Jhon Green's mind really amazes me.
Only two words for this book : miserable and magical.
